Civil servants are either criticised for being faceless bureaucrats but when they do become known they are criticised as being unelected bureaucrats who run the show!
But the essence of the FT story from a couple of days ago is that we will have to come under EU regulation for some time/indefinitely as we don't have the agencies in place to step in and they can't be set up in two years.

Yes, the Conservatives got us into the EEC. The other amusing thing is that an EU referendum was a Liberal Democrat policy for many years!
